5 of the best parenting pearls of wisdom from, er, Snooki?!

From pregnancy advice to buying baby gifts, mum-of-one Snooki usually has something to say…

Celebs, are you pregnant or a new mum and worried just where your next bit of parenting info is going to come from? Fear not, Snooki has some advice for you. And, for the rest of us she has some hilarious nuggets of info on waters breaking and present buying, too...

On pregnancy advice for Kim Kardashian

From one reality TV star to another, Snooki (of Jersey Shore fame) has been quick to dish out a bit of advice to newly expectant Kim Kardashian on how to cope with being pregnant in the spotlight. Snooki said, “I think she’s going to do great,” adding, “I just hope she doesn’t push herself, because I know she likes to work. She should just relax.” Words to live by, eh sisters? Luckily for Kanye, Snooki’s a fan, describing him as the “perfect guy”, continuing, “They’re going to be great”. Phew!

On new mum advice for Kate Middleton

Snooki (aka Nicole Polizzi) appears to be part-time mum, part-time mentor to the pregnant celebs. Turning her attention to little old England, Snooki has some advice for our very own Princess Kate Middleton, who in her second trimester, turns 31 today. Snooki says, “Enjoy your time at home – or the castle, in her case – with the baby, especially the first few months.” Snooki adds, “You’ll get to know him/her, keep them safe and fall more in love each day.”

On present buying

It appears Snooki’s been researching her advice, too. Pulling together advice from other mums, Snooki’s learnt that it’s not important to go crazy buying gifts for your baby at Christmas and things like that. Referring to her 4-month-old son Lorenzo, Snooki explains, “I got advice from lots of other mums. He really doesn’t know what’s going on. We’ll wait till he’s one for all that fuss.”

On labour

While Snooki may appear to have it all in hand when it comes to being a pregnant celeb and mum-of-one, she admits the first signs of labour were all a bit of a surprise. Snooki told US chat show host Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, “I was huge. When my waters broke I thought I was going to be like ‘whoosh’, but I was like constantly peeing my pants every two seconds and I didn’t know what was going on,” adding, “It just kept coming out so I was like, ‘I think my water broke’.”

On more children

Snooki is already planning on more kids, too. Snooki told Cosmopolitan magazine, “Jionni (her fiancé) and I are building our house right now, but once it’s built, then we’re going to pop them out.” The pragmatic star added, “We don’t want to get married and go back in his parent’s basements. So right now we’re in the process of building our home, so until that’s ready, we’re just waiting on the wedding, not rushing it.”
